Broadband circulators based on directional coupling of one-way waveguides
Resonator-based optical circulators are fundamentally bandwidth-limited by their quality factors. We propose a new type of circulator based on directional coupling between one-way photonic chiral edge states and conventional two-way waveguides. The operational bandwidth of such circulators is tied t...
